Gods Jewels.

What does God regard as his jewels2 We have in his own lau guage. It is in third chapter Ol Malachi, in the seventeenth verse }, And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of Host. iu that day when l make up my jewels"
 Who are they to whom God refers! In the previous verse they are described, not as the wealthy.nor the beautiful in figure nor the facile in action, nor as the sweet in voice, put simply as they that feared the Lord,'
 How did they show their fear! The passage says, "Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another" There were those who loved the Lord gh to talk about him. There were those who made his character and his work the theme of their daily conversations; who would rather talk about Gods mercy than about mans selfishness; about Gods saving love than about anything that savers simply of earth.
 To such conduct God is not in different. Malachi tells us that the "Lord hardened and heard it, it pleased him that men should make his work the frequent sheme of tbeir conversation. Nay, more; Malachi tells us that "a book of re- membrance was written before him for them," that through all generations their interest in Gods work might not be forgotten. Shall that book be opened and read in eternity 10 come!
 In the sixty second chapter of Isaiah, we are told that the church shall be "a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord, and a royal dia. dem in the hand of thy God" For whom is this crown this diadem! Can it be for any save our Re- deemer. And is there a reference to this royal diadem in the words of Malachi, which we have quoted, ''in that day when make up my jcwels?' Is it true that they who love 10 talk of Christ with their neighbors, they who on earth thought upon his name," are to be counted worthy of appearing as Jewels in the SaviorS Cr0wn?'
 Oh, blessed privilege, and II is in reach of us all Not all of us can write commentary, not all may preach the gospel, not all may give large gifts to hIs treasury, but all of us can speak often one to another" and think upon his name.p
 In what place on earth is this exercise more happily realized than in social ayer.meetings of the Church! le who would be counted as Gods jewels, forget not thc>hour of social prayer. Christian Observer.

Some Cures for Snake Bites.
REV. (. W. SWART2.

REN |. '. W {. ~ W An lI.
 notice in your last issue the re- quest of Mrs. C. Hall for some re-. liable "Cure for Snake BiteS,' oth- CT than the one in common use, l am glad to be able to name at least three or four, either of which l should sooner risk than the one in ouestion: and most of which are within all our homes, or in the poultry yard.
 First, common turpentlne, ap- piled as quickly as possible after the accident. Mode ofapplication: Where you have a large-necked bottle, put in as much as it will hold, and place the uncorked mouth immediately over the wound, and hold the bot tie on so closely that but little if any of the liquld can escape. In very few seconds the contents of the bottle will be colored with the virus drawn from the wound. After a few minutes empty the bottle and alter refllng, apply again. When bottle cannot be had, let the wound be kept well soaked with the turpentine, by using a large piece of cotton cloth well satura- ted, and changing the cloth every two or three minutes. Second, a very strong solution of soda, ap piled in the same way as the tur pentine, when turpentine is not on hand. Also let the patient have strong soda water to drlnk freely.
 Third, (and am not but first in eiliciency,@ l call attention to the chicken or fowl remedy. Let any fowl la dog, cat or pig would no doubt answer as welD be killed, and cut in pieces instantly, and a large piece of the bird or animal, be applied to and bound upon the wound while the flesh is still warm, In two or three minutes let this be removed, as 1t becomes colored with the eXtacted virus, and anoth- i CT piece be substituted in it's place. Fourth, amonia, or spirits of hartShorn," applied in the same way as the turpeutine or solution Of soda,
 AS well read physician, think as any know, assured me, a few years ago, that while whisky IS not, in reality, an antidote to snak-bite poison, that ammonia Is. The fact. he said, that the former some times figures in the cure of pois. onous bite, was not owing to its being an antldote per se, for such 1t is not. But the only benefit that came from it's use was sort of arrest of the further progre ss of the poison through the system, until nature could throw it of, and thus sometimes(but not always proves help, until Nature re. sumes her normal functions, while in case of the remedies mentioned in thls article, the poison is at once eliminated from the system.
 In case the accident occurs some distance from q house, and where neither of these. four articles can at once be had, let either or both of the following eXpedients be tenn porarily adopted: First, the p0is on be drawn from the wound with the patients own mouth, if he can reach the bitten part, or by anoth. CT, if he is not alone. Or if mud can be found, or water with which to make mud, let a good sized mud poultice be applied to and kept firmly on the bitten place, until one of the remedies above dcscri- ed can be applied.
